Hm, cool :) But anyway, I could add more files to FAT flash, but
couldn't do for UFS ;)
And I didn't forced to lost all data from flash every time I change
Install image to new one.
I think in whole world there will be two-three people who find this
useful :D
And Kris, about RC1:
1. If I choose upgrade, I see "Mounting CD..." when rm process working,
user could be confused, "Why my CD is mounting about 10 minutes"? Better
change label while removing old data. And place new label in the end of
install - when PBI are installing.
2. I had rebooted PC with not-checked filesystem. I did upgrade, after
reboot my filesystem was still dirty and required fsck. And maybe this
is related - this upgrade couldn't login into KDE. I propose before
mounting partition for upgrade, check it with fsck, and maybe try to
intercept some errors according to HDD fails? How about this.
Now going to reinstall fully RC1 and test OS itself :)

Re: Testing 7.1 RC1

Kris, translation of PCInstall is out of sync with Pootle, am I correct?
you synchronizing all translations only before release?
It'll be nice to get RC2 with synced translations, just to make sure all ok.
Or you didn't planning it?

Re: Testing 7.1 RC1

Installed clean RC1
1. No driver "ae". Why we drop it? Remember Kris, it's manual patch for
ethernet on Asus EEE
2. Upgrade after few boots logged in! But I have beta1-ru, I chose
Russian language during upgrade, and after that my system became
English. Why is that? :)
3. KVirc is broken on pbidir.com
Will test more later ;)

I've fixed this in SVN, it'll now give some feedback as to whats
happening, so the user doesn't think its hung or anything :)

Good idea, I'll see where I can implement this into the upgrade scripts.

The translations on RC1 may be a bit out of date, I'll make sure to get
them updated before 7.1 for sure :)
As for a RC2, I'm not sure about it this time. Right now the build
servers are on a very slow connection, and it takes me anywhere from 3-4
days just to upload the ISO's. After we release 7.1, we'll be moving
those to a new colo, and start doing weekly snapshots, so you can try
things out on a more consistent basis.
What translation was it that appeared out of date? I'll make sure I
personally try it here to ensure its updated for you.

My bad! I had done a sync with GENERIC, and dropped that driver :( I'll
get it re-added here for 7.1.

Some of the kde files weren't getting processed properly with
localization data. That should be fixed now.

The one on the build server is fixed, I'll be sure to get it updated
today with the new one :)
